Add to serializer only for staff and current user

I’d like to know how to create a separate profile page with just this stuff on it.

You’d have to create a new route and make sure it’s guarded against anyone but staff and the current user from seeing it. Probably a lot more complex than serializing it where you are.

But I need to add it to the user serializer only for staff and the current user.

I’m thinking you can do this via something like so:

  add_to_serializer(:user, :manager_status) {
    return object.manager_status if object.admin || object.staff
  }

Off the top of my head you may have to do a dance to pull in the current user object and check for a match.
